So this date night was earlier this week, but life got in the way and I'm just now posting it, sorry :) Our date night was one that I was looking forward to for awhile! It was pretzels and puzzles. So I picked out a 1,000 piece puzzle (a little too big now that I look back at it) and got an awesome pretzel bite recipe.
So when JT came home we started making the homemade dough for the pretzels bites and even Jocelyn helped just a little as well. It takes about an hour for the dough to rise, so we had to do this part a little early. Then off the little munchkin went to bed and off we went to the kitchen to finish our cooking :) We also moved into the dining room and started setting up the puzzle.
Now as Jonathan phrased it... "I'm afraid you might be one of those people that would wear an adult diaper just so they could stay at the table longer to finish a puzzle"... it was a little extreme but I do like me a good puzzle :) So we got all our edge pieces out first and started working on putting together the frame. Our week had been so busy that we actually started talking tons and the puzzle become a welcome second to the date.
So we didn't finish, but the night was fantastic. On a side note, it got moved into the kitchen and now I get to put a few pieces in every day ! Score!!!
He says: Some of our best date nights are the low keys ones and this one turned out to be one of those nights! We started out with a little mixing action in the kitchen making pretzels with Jocelyn. She really loves helping and trying to be a big girl so this part was alot of fun. After that it was off to bed for Jocelyn and on to part two for us. We popped our pretzel bites into the oven and got our puzzle out on the table. This was one tough puzzle and it took us almost 30 minutes just to find all the edge pieces and get them hooked up in all the right places. Mia's pretty competitive even when working on a puzzle so I did my best to keep up. We had great conversation just catching up on the day and covering several things we needed to sort out for the week. It was really nice to just sit and talk and have the house all quiet and it just be the two of us doing something together.
